MaveriK Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Is it any good or do you feel your fingers have been burned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I was looking at that, but have been swayed more towards one of the Android offerings since. Since all the current contracts are crap now and either 18 or 24 months, it would actually be cheaper over the course of the contract for me to just buy the phone out of contract in the first place. Just can't justify spending that much money at the moment so it'll probably be next year when I look at getting something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I have one. I don't feel my fingers were burned, but then again - I don't pay for my phones. Personally, I prefer the 5800 I was using before. N86 has older Symbian software and I found 5800 was a big leap forward in useability. Camera is much better on N86 though. I only got the N86 because I wanted to use the FM transmitter. A week after getting it, I didn't need it anymore - so I've switched back to the 5800.

Does the touch screen behave itself even if you are on a call and a little wet around the chops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found the battery life good - but it's not all that easy to judge since I have it charging all day at work so it's usually pretty well charged. Not really tried the "wet around the chops" test - but the touch screen isn't bad. It's not as good as the screen on the itouch to use though - although having said that, I've not used my itouch since getting the 5800.

MaveriK Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Sex hotline? Given that up as it was causing a rash Think i will venture into a phone shop and grapple with the pair of them. I like the look of the 5800 but the last touch screen i had was rubbish, also worried about damaging the screen. The N86 in white looks quite cute Would like the N97 but cant justify the outlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Would like the N97 but cant justify the outlay I've not used one, although the guy next to me at work has one. Seems to be the best of both worlds - same Symbian s/w as the 5800 but with the extra features N series stuff tends to have. But obviously at a price (and I think the qwerty keyboard does make it a little fat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
